Please remember to take safety precautions when working on campus in the evening. There are several free services available to you at such times:
1. Use Unibeat for escorts on or around campus, arranged through Security Services 9385 6000 (or extension 56000 if making an internal call) or FreeCall 1800 626 003. This is available to all students and staff, male and female, between 6pm and 6am every day of the week including weekends.
2. Unibeat buses also run on weekdays, on and around campus. Timetables are available from Security Services (including their website www.security.unsw.edu.au), the CSE Help Desk and on all Unibeat buses.
3. After a request from the CSE student societies to the Head of School, the Unibeat Shuttle Bus will now also drop off and pick up at McDonald's, Kingsford.
4. The UNSW Help Points can be used to contact Security Services directly at any time and are linked to the Campus Video Surveillance System. Use them to arrange escorts or to find out about Unibeat bus schedules. Some also allow you to arrange for a taxi.
There are currently six Help Points on the Main Campus:
- Materials Science (near the Unibar)
- Gate 14 (Barker St)
- Western end of the Quadrangle Building
- Civil Engineering/Scientia
- Library Lawn
- Gate 9 (High St)
There are also three Help Points within CSE buildings:

5. A Security Alert service is available for those who would like updates on security-related information. To subscribe, simply email majordomo@explode.unsw.edu.au with "subscribe sec-alert" in the subject.
Wherever you may be, please keep the following in mind:
- Work and travel in pairs or groups when possible, not alone
- Always use the closest amenities
- Only travel in paths where there is security lighting
- Be aware of your surroundings at all times
In an emergency, or for first-aid treatment, contact Security on x56666 (FreeCall 1800 626 003) or see the Help Desk for assistance. Remember to be aware and take care, and report all incidents to UNSW Security Services.
